Raman optical activity, long thought to require chiral molecules or magnetic order, has been demonstrated in an achiral, nonmagnetic crystal by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. The ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find abnormal protein aggregates linked to disease, and more. (Nanowerk News) ...

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral organogermanes. The scheme shows different chirality types: carbon stereogenic centers (α, β, γ), a germanium‑stereogenic center, axial chirality, planar ...

An active underwater volcano off the Oregon Coast that was predicted to erupt in 2025 is now expected to erupt mid-to-late 2026. The Axial Seamount volcano is located nearly a mile beneath the sea, ...

A syndicate of investors including OneVentures and Seventure is bankrolling Vertero’s plans. (solarseven/iStock/Getty Images Plus) Axial Therapeutics has stepped ...

This AF430S motor from Turntide Technologies answers a call for electrification in components in industrial equipment and performance vehicles. The lightweight axial flux motor delivers up to 96% ...

Noncollinear ferroic materials are sought after as testbeds to explore the intimate connections between topology and symmetry, which result in electronic, optical, and magnetic functionalities not ...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a reinterpretation of the so-called chiral anomaly in quantum field theory, proposing that what has traditionally been viewed as a breakdown of symmetry is, in fact, a ...

Given the growing interest in MSRs with axial, inherent and planar chirality, the lack of synthetic methods and limited understanding of structural stability highlight the need for a review to guide ...

Diego is a writer and editor with over six years of experience covering games. He's mainly focused on guides, but he's done reviews, features, news, and everything in between. A fan of all genres, you ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...
